Hey Product Hunters! We’re pretty excited about this and I’d love to get feedback on my latest Product Hunt posting. Support Hero is a perfect tool for any growing company that wants to help their customers successfully use their product and educate them with a super simple knowledge base. With clients like Agorapulse, AppSumo, Thinkific, Kissmetrics, and Mailerlite, Support Hero has quietly been transforming the way users troubleshoot issues on the websites. You can see a sample of our clients here http://www.supporthero.io/customer. Most small software companies can’t afford to offer 24/7 customer support. It’s just not feasible. The other thing I would add is that offering efficient self-help resources can help a lot with that. Users don’t expect us to

Intercom has recently released a new knowledge base product and you may be wondering what are the key differences between the native Intercom’s knowledge base and Support Hero’s. Here’s a summary of the key differentiators: Intercom knowledge base is outside your app, users need to exit the app to look for a response to their question. Support Hero is embedded within your app and is accessible without leaving the context they’re currently working on. That means less friction, better user experience, and more deflected tickets. Making sure your knowledge base is easy to find and browse is not a meaningless detail. For example, try to find Intercom’s own knowledge base inside of their own product. Pretty challenging! Using Support Hero makes this

Let’s start with the basics. A knowledge base is a library of data that is used on a self-service basis to answer questions. The information contained within the knowledge base is typically produced by the organization that it supports in order to answer specific user questions about the products and/or services they offer. When set up properly, a knowledge base provides clients with easy access to accurate answers for their questions, allowing organizations to greatly reduce the number of support tickets they deal with on a daily basis and lower overall customer support costs.

Support Hero offers a lot of helpful statistics, but the most actionable is definitely the “failed searches” one. Support Hero statistics show you the number of failed searches – searches performed by users who did not find their answer in the results, but more importantly, it also shows you the number of deflected tickets. The number of deflected tickets is the number of searches that lead to results users have clicked on and read, and for which, when asked if they have found the answer to their question, they didn’t click “no” or sent a ticket. In a nutshell, a deflected ticket is a search for which results were displayed, content was read and no ticket was sent. You can assume

If you’re a SaaS business, chances are support is one area of your business that you want to be flawless. Providing great support is the key to your growth and success. According to an Oracle study, 9 out of 10 customers have abandoned a business because of a poor customer support experience. You don’t want to be that business, do you? At the same time, customer support can be the most time-consuming (and expensive) activity in your business if it’s not handled correctly. Hence, the way you provide support can make or break your business. It’s not one of those things you can do “quick and dirty” at first and then improve later. Well, you could, but that would be
